lyrics

There was a raccoon, walkin’ through the forest
Looking for a new place to call home
And there was a semi driving down I-40
Just then that raccoon tried to cross the road

And now there’s nothing he can do
It’s the end of the road for that raccoon
His life has come and gone and now it's through
He’s got the road kill blues

There was a possum, lookin’ for some lovin’
He was man in need indeed
Instead of getting’ something, he’ll be getting nothing
He screwed up when he tried to cross the street

And now there’s nothing he can do
Playing possum aint gonna pull him through
Billy Bob gonna make some possum stew
He’s got the road kill blues

There was a tom cat, struttin’ around town
He saw a mouse and a chase began
The mouse got away, nowhere to be found
The cat was hit by an Astro mini-van

AND NOW THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO
HE’S DEAD AND HIS NINE LIVES ARE THROUGH
THAT CAT HAS NOW BECOME VULTURE FOOD
HE’S GOT THE ROAD KILL BLUES

There was this squirrel, gatherin’ nuts
He’d cross the street every chance he could
The last time he crossed, there were blood and guts
Now those nuts won’t do him any good

AND NOW THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO
HE LIVED LIFE IN THE FAST LAND AND HE KNEW
ANOTHER SQUIRREL GONNA GET ALL HIS LOOT
HE’S GOT THE ROAD KILL BLUES
